So far tolerable!

Taxol seems to be much easier for me right now.  It will be a cumulative effect also but number uno hasn't been bad.  I think by number 12 I will be glad I am done!  I am tired today but nothing like with the AC.  I do have some bone pain but heck who doesn't at my age:)  Bone pain and neuropathy are two of the main side effects from this chemo.  I am mixing the Glutamine and drinking it 3 times a day to help with this.  I have no idea of whether it is working but I am not going to test the waters and not drink it!

I really have no plans for this week.  I have enough around the house to keep me busy but it just depends on whether I want to use the excuse "I am having chemo" to avoid doing anything.

I sure hope this weather holds out for the race on the 11th.  It is warm and humid but nothing like it could be this time of year.  I think there are about 38 signed up for the race.  I don't know that the suite will hold everyone so it may be a drive through to pick up a bagel, water or juice and some fruit:)  Thanks again to everyone.

Nothing really to report right now.  As my granddaughter said I am beginning to look like a Chia pet!  Some of my hair is sprouting but not enough to go without my hat...too easy to burn right now.  I am loosing my eyebrows and eyelashes.  Oh well...more things to look forward to when this all is done.

 I need to remember what is written in the Bible in 1 Peter 3:3-4:

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."
